Bug ID: 29478
Summary: Slow query of a debuginfo in a big rpm with very many
files
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: debuginfod
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: mliska at suse dot cz
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Consider a very common test case where you debug a binary and the binary
depends on linux-vdso.so.1, well, actually each Linux binary depends on it.
$ file /usr/lib/modules/5.19.0-1-default/vdso/vdso64.so
/usr/lib/modules/5.19.0-1-default/vdso/vdso64.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object,
x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), static-pie linked,
BuildID[sha1]=6c5e8eefd4b928a12d9eec149ba8eab49b3febcc, stripped
it belongs to the following debuginfo package:
$ du -hs ~/BIG/test/kernel-default-debuginfo-5.19.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
1.6G/home/marxin/BIG/test/kernel-default-debuginfo-5.19.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
and we (openSUSE) use bzip2 compression for it (mainly due to compatibility
with older system where one can install a recent kernel).
Anyway it contains quite many files:
$ rpm -qpl ~/BIG/test/kernel-default-debuginfo-5.19.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm | wc -l
15906
and it occupies 5.5 GB when extracted.
$ DEBUGINFOD_VERBOSE=1 gdb `which htop`
GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 12.1
...
url 0
https://debuginfod.opensuse.org/buildid/6c5e8eefd4b928a12d9eec149ba8eab49b3febcc/debuginfo
query 1 urls in parallel
server response HTTP response code said error
url 0 The requested URL returned error: 504
not found No such file or directory (err=-2)
So as seen, there's a timeout of the request. Apparently, libarchive
uncompresses the content of each entry:
perf confirms that:
23.14% libbz2.so.1.0.6 [.] BZ2_bzDecompress
4.86% libbz2.so.1.0.6 [.] 0x00015f62
2.21% [kernel] [k] virtnet_poll
1.86% [kernel] [k] __raw_callee_save___pv_queued_spin_unlock
and I can reproduce it locally with:
$ cat /tmp/demo.c
#include
#include
#include
int main()
{
struct archive *a;
struct archive_entry *entry;
int r;
a = archive_read_new();
archive_read_support_filter_all(a);
archive_read_support_format_all(a);
r = archive_read_open_filename(a,
"/home/marxin/BIG/test/kernel-default-debuginfo-5.19.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm", 10240);
// Note 1
if (r != ARCHIVE_OK)
exit(1);
while (archive_read_next_header(a, &entry) == ARCHIVE_OK) {
printf("%s\n",archive_entry_pathname(entry));
archive_read_data_skip(a); // Note 2
}
r = archive_read_free(a); // Note 3
if (r != ARCHIVE_OK)
exit(1);
}
Note rpm -qpl finishes very quickly:
$ time rpm -qpl ~/BIG/test/kernel-default-debuginfo-5.19.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
>/dev/null
real0m0.064s
user0m0.060s
sys 0m0.004s
If I see correctly, the function handle_buildid_r_match skips all entries
different from b_source1, but it's really slow
due to mentioned libarchive slownes.
